These overshoes offered the best fit and slip resistance in tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. They were found to be the easiest to put on and remove by panelists wearing both casual and dress shoes. A hook-and-loop fastener opens the entire front length of the overshoe for easy entry and closure. A quick-release buckle secures the top of the overshoe to the shoe underneath to eliminate feet sliding around while walking. Winning for slip resistance after panelists wore them on an ice rink, the overshoes' rubber outsoles each have 16 removable cleats that unscrew using the included cleat key. The two rearmost cleats are angled outward to minimize slipping at the heel, leading one panelist to remark "I could take a misstep on the ice and these cleats would still save me from a fall." The 500-denier nylon uppers have sealed seams, keeping the wearer's shoes free from water and salt stains. An elastic drawstring secures the top of the overshoe to keep out snow and slush. Black. Unisex.

How To Determine Your Shoe Size

To ensure a proper fit in our footwear, we encourage you to measure your foot to determine your shoe size and refer to the shoe sizing chart below.

Foot Measurement Tips

Your foot size varies throughout the day. The best time to measure your feet is at the end of the day, when your feet are usually largest.

Wear the same style of socks that you plan to wear with your shoes.

Measure both feet and choose the shoe size that fits the bigger foot.

If you are alone, it is best to take the measurements while sitting. If someone else is helping you, then standing on your feet is best.

How to Measure Your Foot

While seated, place your foot on a piece of paper larger than the size of your foot.

Hold your pen or pencil upright, and trace around your foot. Make sure your pen or pencil is resting snugly against your foot as you trace.

With a ruler, measure your tracing to determine your foot length.

Foot Length - To find your foot length, measure the distance between the two longest points on your tracing. Reduce this number by 5 mm, or 3/16-inch. The result is your foot length and the number you will use to determine your shoe size. To convert to centimeters, multiply the measurement by 2.54.

I have been searching a long time for boots that: are rugged, do not make my feet too warm, will keep the snow and water away from my feet and most importantly: help keep me from falling, with all of the snow, thaw and refreeze here in Michigan, we have a front yard that is an ice rink and these boots with the cleats have prevented me from falling, thus saving you a doctor or massage therapy bill :) Also, I love the Velcro instead of laces that break or get dirty all the time. This is a well designed shoe boot that may not be pretty but I trust these boots than any other boot I have came across.

I bought a pair of similar overshoes before (they were the only ones that could fit over my shoe size) and loved them. I needed an extra pair to keep at work, so I looked these up. I was concerned about the cleats but THOUGHT that they were removable, so I bought this pair. The cleats aren't removable that I can see; but otherwise they are a good product.

The roads, sidewalks and parks of my city are covered with ice and very slippery snow. While these overshoes are some help against these hazards, they are not as reliable as the cleats I can attach to my winter boots. They slip on ice, and I would not dare go down a slippery slope counting on them.

I use these boots to go out in the yard to service my bird feeders. Our Maine weather makes it a necessity to have an effective shoe cover.These fit great over my shoes and are very easy to put on, close up and remove when i'm done.Metal studs are good in icy conditions but don't wear them inside.

These boots were a gift and the recipient was very excited. We live in Santa Fe and face winter ice and snow and these boots will be very useful during those times. However, so far this winter has been very mild and the boots have not yet been put to the test.

I liked everything about the boots except the size. I think that I am probably between a large and a medium. I can wear the boots but I need to have my bulkiest shoes on in order to not move around in the boots.
